• If drive C (the hard disk) isn't working properly, insert the Support Utility floppy
disk in the floppy disk drive, then press
then click the Minimum Startup option. At the MS-DOS prompt, type
scandisk c: to fix certain problems with drive C. You can use other
commands on drive A to try to repair drive C. Then remove the floppy disk and
try rebooting again. If it still doesn't start, try reinstalling the original Windows
95 files on drive C.

Hewlett-Packard at the phone number in the Service and Support booklet.
